Thanks to its compact form, it is particularly suitable for smaller garden ponds as well as mini ponds and bowls. Ideal if you want a water lily that doesn’t take up too much space.Dwarf-form water lily – suitable for small water areasFlower colour: redGrowth: compact, for a controlled leaf areaArea of application: Garden pond, mini pond, tub/bowlTechnical dataBotanical name: Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Rubra’English name: Dwarf water lilyFlower colour: redPlanting depth: -10 to -40cmFlowering period: June to September Pot size: approx. 18 cmWith the dwarf water lily Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Rubra’ you bring the typical water lily atmosphere into the garden – even if your pond is rather small or you want to plant in a mini pond or tub. Dwarf water lilies are designed to unfold a harmonious effect in a limited space: Floating leaves on the surface and an attractive blossom, without the water area being quickly completely covered. The ‘Rubra’ variety creates an elegant, easily visible splash of colour with its red flowers.Especially with smaller garden ponds, balanced planting is crucial. Water lilies that grow too vigorously can quickly dominate the surface and “close” the water effect. In comparison, a dwarf water lily remains more compact and is therefore a good choice if you want a calm, well-kept look and nevertheless do not want to do without the classic water lily eye-catcher. ‘Rubra’ is particularly effective when positioned so that you have a good view of the flowers from your seat or terrace – as the red shades clearly stand out against the water and greenery.For establishing, stable placement is important, ideally in a planting basket or a suitable container. This way the rhizome lies undisturbed, and you can adjust the position if necessary. If you are looking for a compact water lily with a strong colour, Nymphaea pygmaea ‘Rubra’ is a fitting choice for a natural yet controlled pond design.Note: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, it may occur that plants are slightly damaged during postal delivery or by other unforeseen events. This includes both brown leaves and bent branches. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo-Roco tip: Put dwarf water lilies in a planting basket so you can easily adjust their position. If the plant is still small at first, start out higher (shallower) and lower them later – this often encourages quicker growth and flowering.

The white flowers appear from April to June (IV–VI) and create bright highlights early in the year. Especially by water, these flowers look particularly attractive, as they reflect beautifully on a calm surface and “brighten up” the shoreline. With a height of approx. 30 to 40 cm cotton grass is perfect for the foreground to midground: it can be easily combined with lower ground cover plants and also forms a good match next to taller marginal plants which may stand in the background. The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes Eriophorum angustifolium ideal for the shoreline and shallow water border zone. Plant it in moist shoreline soil or place it in very shallow water areas.If you prefer a clear pond edge or would like to keep the position flexible later, a planting basket is a practical solution – this keeps the plant exactly where it works best.

The flowering period from May to July (V–VII) brings the desired seasonal highlight to the pond.

For a harmonious overall appearance, planting in small groups or as a recurring element along the bank is recommended. This creates a calm rhythm that makes the pond appear seamless.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes Iris versicolor ideal for damp marginal zones and very shallow areas. Depending on pond construction, place the plant in damp bank earth or position it firmly in the shallow water area.

For a neat, manageable pond edge, a planting basket is often a good solution – this keeps the water iris where it works best and allows for easy relocation if necessary.
